King’s Square Upgrade

King’s Square is very much in the limelight once more with the latest news the City Council has demolished the former Golden Egg restaurant with a view to sprucing up King’s Square.

Gloucester Civic Trust has been delving into their archives and has found a series of photographs of King’s Square. A couple are taken in the 50s but some show the newly revamped King’s Square back in the 1970s with its new planting, water and fountains. The scheme won a civic award at the time.
